Unexpected Love
CHAPTER 41

In the dining room with shades of gray and white paint, three beautiful girls, two young-looking men as well as two handsome men were sitting down to start their lunch ritual. Zano and Marcel were not surprised by the presence of two beautiful girls beside Celine but not with Mr. Zardo and Uncle Jordan who had never seen the two girls before. Shifa who felt awkward and a little scared because of the face of Zano's father who he thought was very unfriendly wanted to start talking but before that Celine had already preceded him.

“Uncle Zardo, Dad.. This is Shifa and Zainab. My friend at campus” Celine said cheerfully.

Mr. Zardo just stared at the two girls before him without saying anything while Celine's father started smiling to greet his single daughter's friend.

“Did those two make you happy?” ask Uncle Jordan.

“True Dad.. I'm really happy to meet and be good friends with them,” replied Celine enthusiastically.

Yes, Uncle Jordan will do and approve anything that makes his only daughter happy but still with his supervision. She just wants her daughter to be happy as her guilt-busting for never telling her about the mother of her child.

While Mr. Zardo only heard and listened to the conversation between his sister and nephew without saying anything. It also makes Zano feel strange with his father's attitude. What his father really thought. Well, he'll find out later.

The whole lunch was silent, after the conversation between Celine and her father, no one continued to speak. They prefer to have their own thoughts. Lunch is over.

“You what Shif?” celine asked in shock as she was about to get up from her seat.

“You help get this done,” point Shifa at the dirty dishes that are on the mafia's fancy dining table.

“Hoh, Shif for what? The waiter here is paid for it. Come come with me to the room, we continue learning with us,” said Celine then pulled Shifa and Zai's hands to leave the dining room.

One of the servants noticed Shifa's movements. “HopefullyMaster Zano can have a friend live like that girl,” said one of the waiters.

On the other hand, Mr. Zardo, Uncle Jordan, Zano and Marcel were gathering in their private room which was usually used to discuss about their work.

“Zano, it seems like they are unceasingly bothering us. You know me so well, should I do it now. I'm really impatient,” said Mr. Zardo with an ice-cold face.

“Be patient, Dad. However, we can’t wait it anymore but I guess we’ve to think about it more. They’re not easy and so danger” said Zano with an attitude no less cold with Mr. Zardo.

“Yeah, I think so. Make sure, they’ve a strategy to make us lose and weak,” said Uncle Jardo.

“It’ll be better if I go there right now. Willy nilly, we have to do something,” said Zano who began to get ready to go directly to the destination they were talking about.

“Are you sure, Zano?” ask Uncle Jordan.

“Of course, Uncle,” Zano replied seriously.

Mr. Zardo who saw his son's attitude like that felt he managed to educate Zano as he expected. Zano is not the name if you act before thinking and strategizing. From childhood Zano was educated by his father to act smart, full of strategy, brave and responsible. Seeing that there was no doubt for Mr. Zardo to give this so dangerous a task to him.

“Alright, I stay in this ministry to see the conditions and you are Jordan, you better keep an eye on the border area of this city and let Zano and Marcel to the port.

“Good, but I want you to take care of my daughter,” said Uncle Jordan.

“Who do you think I am?”mister Zardo said coldly and his mafia aura was beginning to show. If only Shifa and Zainab saw the expressions of the four men in this room, they could not be denied that this was a mafia.

“Huf... tired also learn yaai hihi.” said Celine who had laid her body on her king size mattress.

“Apaanya tired Celine, we just learned three sheets,” said Zainab.

“What ? Just you said Zai, it's three sheets of loh” said Celine with a frustrated face due to fatigue.

Shifa saw the two friends just smiling and continued his activity again, which is reading about the political law of the country and of course it was a course from Arka as well.

“Shif..” call Celine.

“Ya?”

“Are you not tired from reading mulu not ready to feel,” asked Celine.

“Nope, baby” Shifa replied.

“He em .. tumben nih” connect Zai.

“What?” shifa asked not to understand.

“Apaan sih Zai. Don’t like that,” Shifa said with a sweet smile.

As they chatted in the room, the sound of knocking on the door sounded.

Tuk Tuk Tuk Tuk

“Non.. Mr. Zardo called the lady to come down to the bottom of” said the waiter who knocked on the door.

“Okay, Bi.”

“What's up?” ask Shifa to Celine.

Celine raises both of her shoulders a sign of not knowing. “Yuks come with me down,” take Celine.

Celine, Shifa and Zainab were already on the lower floors of the Missions, the three of them looking confused as to what was really going on.

“Uncle.. What's up? Father, brother Zano and brother Marcel where are you going?” celine asked innocently.

Meanwhile, Marcel, who was worried that Celine was upset, said about their real work that Celine certainly knew. And unknowingly also the son of a mobster asked like that which made his two friends think suspicious because of a very stressful situation like this. In these conditions Shifa and Zai felt strange and a little afraid of what was really going on with them.

“You're like-minded not with me Shif?” zai whispered in Shifa's ear in a very slow voice.

Shifa seemed to think for a moment then nodded their omens in the same thought that put suspicion on the people who were in the session. Zano who was sensitive to this situation also broke the silence.

“Kakak and the others have Celine's business. I'm asking you not to come out from seconds until tomorrow, okay” Zano ordered.

“Why brother?”

“Not much to ask Celine” now Mr. Zardo is speaking.

If he had faced his uncle, Celine would not have dared. It was Mr. Zardo who he feared more than his own father. Celine fell silent then her father spoke up as well.

“As long as dad is gone, don't dare go anywhere Celine includes two of your friends” Uncle Jordan's orders.

“But dad.”

“But what?”

“But tomorrow Shifa and Zai will have an appointment with the lecturer” said Celine with a worried face.

Zano who had initially ignored Celine's words became the focus of Celine's speech just now.

“Lecturers? Wh who? Or the kid?” Zano asked himself.
